WOW - I saw this on the bay. NICE!!!

Th e description mentioned something about:

"It is rumored to have sat on the president of the company until it's bankruptcy. It is from the estate collection of Howard F Schwartz AKA Merchant to the Melancholy."

You think there is any truth to this? Have you seen any more of these?

Of coarse it's all here say but the nice lady that sold it was selling off the estate of Mr Schwartz . She went on saying that he is still alive but in a nursing home and needing to liquidate .
I have another example with etch but this one is in near mint to mint condition .
